1000 awesome things...

Hiya all....I thought I would just pop in to share with you all a site that I stumbled across recently...http://1000awesomethings.com/
I thought I would share as it pretty much is....well....awesome. I like it as it is a blog a guy has set up and he puts a simple pleasure on it everyday.
Here is what he wrote on his blog...
"1000 Awesome Things is just a time-ticking countdown of 1000 awesome things. Launched June, 2008 and updated every weekday."
Some of the reviews people have written are...
*“Strangely heartwarming… perfect for rainy days.”
*“Honors the little joys of life.”
*“Laugh-out-loud funny, tinged with just enough sarcastic nostalgia…”
*“Laugh out loud. You feel like you’ve thought of these things a thousand times but just haven’t stopped to write them down.”
*“A lovingly beautiful blog. It’s like being a three- or four-year-old and looking at the world for the first time again. Read it and you’ll feel good about being human.”
...and my personal favorite...
*“Given the hectic nature of our lives, it’s easy to overlook the little things that make it all worthwhile. Thank goodness we’ve got this new site to remind us of life’s small pleasures. They’re just getting started with the list but we’ve already identified a few favorites including that pile of assorted beers left in your fridge after a party, locking people out of the car and pretending to drive away, and finding money you didn’t even know you lost.

This last comment pretty much sums up what this blog is all about. Looking at the simple things in life (that give you a buzz) that so often get neglected and overlooked and just appreciating the small things in life...a motto I 100% stand by.

Once you start filing through this blog, i guarantee that you will be at your computer for hours.

The Story of "OUR NEST"...

If this is your first time here WELCOME. If you've been here before WELCOME BACK!

Im a 33 year old mamma of 2 little georgouse kids...my daughter Miss Mimi who is 9, and my son Little T, who is 7 (and I still cant believe their that big already).

I have a wonderful, loving, supportive husband who I consider my soul mate and my rock. We married in November '98. I love my family and they make me sooo happy. I want to give back to them what they give to me ♥.

We live in a cosy, humble little home on the Gold coast, Australia. "Our nest" That we are slowly making our own.

I find there is so much stress and sadness in the world in which we live.

I also find there is also so much beauty and love...If we choose to look at it.

My Blog is dedicated to my beautiful family and the simple things that bring 'me' joy and make me feel fabulouse.

Its a reminder to me that life can be good, and hopefully I can pass that on to you.

I love the beach, ocean, sand and sea. My husband is a surfer and I think it is a fantasic sport. I Love that he loves it.

I like to get back to basic with my food. I like to eat fresh, natural unprocessed food but I also believe in enjoying what you cook and enjoy what you eat and treating yourself once in a while...after all its all about balance.

Somtimes life can get a little crazy...but I wouldnt have it any other way.

Life isnt perfect, but it is good.

Thankyou for checking out my blog. I would love all who visit to continue to follow and pleeeaaase comment as i feel that that is the 'cherry on the top' after all my blogging.So please enjoy....

♥Jaime

My amazing Family!
